About this item

Highlights

  • NEW & IMPROVED: Hydro-Stars® are now 2x stickier for long-lasting wear, 50% more absorbent for extra gunk removal, and easier to apply with new perforated sheets.
  • UNCLOGS PORES: Made with salicylic acid, these stars absorb fluid while helping to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores.
  • BESTSELLING FORMULA: Hydro-Stars are made with hydrocolloid, a material that’s clinically proven to help absorb fluid, reduce redness, and shrink spots while feeling cute.
  • PICKING PROTECTION: These blue stars protect your spots from outside interference and serve as a gentle reminder to avoid skin picking.
  • FOR EVERYONE, ALWAYS: Hydro-Stars are vegan, cruelty free, dermatologist tested, Target Clean, and safe for sensitive skin.
  • STAR RESULTS: Let your Hydro-Stars work their magic overnight, or any time for 6+ hours. Limit use to 1-3x per week.
  • SPECIAL SHAPE: The star shape is cute and effective: their little arms hug the more difficult-to-reach contours of your face, like the corners of your nose or sides of your lips.
  • EXTRA CUTE: Hydro-Stars turn caring for your skin into a moment of self-expression and fun.

Guests are saying

The product is a decorative acne patch that some guests find effective for reducing inflammation and preventing picking, while others feel it doesn't stick well or absorb effectively. The cute star design is a hit, but opinions on its functionality are mixed. The salicylic acid ingredient is appreciated by some for targeting deeper pimples.

    These are ok.

    I like wearing these in the day while at work! They're cute and fun! They're not as affective as the Hero brand but they are a good alternative to cover up blemishes if you dont want to wear make up. The most recent pack I bought wasnt great tho, the last stickers seemed like they were contaminated so I threw them out . . . please check the stickers before you use them.

    sticky sticky

    These will not fall off! Definitely the stickiest of all the stars I've tried, they do a great job of removing any excess gunk and speed up the recovery process.

    disapointed

    i usually buy these specific ones when i have a breakout under the skin. it may have been a bad batch but none of these are sticking to anything but the plastic that’s on top when you open it?? im really upset because i usually love these and they do work and idk if i can return them since they’re open.

    Bad batch

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wasn’t like my usual purchase. I literally purchase star patches monthly and these may have been a bad batch. They were thin and not sticky and the plastic didn’t have the folds on them like they usually do to remove the patches. They also were literally falling off my face. Kind of sad because this never happens. This must have been a bad batch.

    Spots are noticeably smaller/less red

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spots are noticeably smaller/less red overnight, usually! I use these a lot. Be careful with these/any salicylic acid product when you’re using other acne products or exfoliants, you may peel a little in that area :) these by themselves usually do the trick and other products aren’t needed for typical spots!

    Useless

    They did absolutely nothing. Worn for 8-12 hours two nights in a row with no change. They did stay on, so I guess there’s that…

    Wouldn’t buy again

    I bought two of these and one of the boxes was literally empty. . I tried to return it, but I wasn’t able to. The actual patches aren’t that sticky and fall off easily. Plus, they did absolutely nothing even after leaving it on for a little over 8 hours.
